What Sourcetree is

Sourcetree is a free graphical client for visualizing and managing Git repositories on Windows and macOS. It also works with Mercurial. The interface supports creating, cloning, committing, pushing, pulling, and merging repositories, with changes staged or discarded by file, hunk, or line. Other features include Git Large File Storage, Git-flow support, submodules, local commit search, interactive rebase, and remote repository search and cloning. Sourcetree connects with Bitbucket Cloud, Bitbucket Server, GitHub, GitLab, and VSTS, and is described as useful for beginners as well as advanced users. Windows Enterprise edition supports MSI deployment, silent installation, and centrally managed updates. Its users can sign in with existing Bitbucket Data Center credentials without an additional account signup. Pull-request comments, approvals, and repository access changes must be handled in the hosting service, not in Sourcetree.
